How Much Yarn do I need for a Blanket?
As a guideline, you’ll need is 4 large 300g skeins of Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, (approx. 840 yards in total) for this sofa blanket in the picture which measures 44″ x 55″.
With a bit of math, you can work out exactly how many skeins you’ll need for the exact size blanket you are after.
The big skeins hold 256 yd /234m of yarn. The gauge of this yarn is 8st x 13r = 4in/10cm on size US11/8mm knitting needles. The Bernat’s recommended crochet hook size is also L11/8mm (But I’d go for 11.5 instead, as usually, you need a crochet hook size that’s 1/2 a size bigger than your knitting needles.)
